The VMC requires a minimum of 100 PSI at 4 scfm at the input to the pressure regulator on the back of the
machine. This should be supplied by at least a two horsepower compressor, with a minimum 20-gallon tank,
that turns on when the pressure drops to 100 PSI.
The recommended method of attaching the air hose is to the barb fitting at the back of the machine with a
hose clamp. If a quick coupler is desired, use at least a 3/8”.
NOTE:
Excessive oil and water in the air supply will cause the machine to
malfunction. The air filter/regulator has an automatic bowl dump
that should be empty before starting the machine. This must be
checked for proper operation monthly. Also, excessive contami-
nants in the air line may clog the dump valve and cause oil and/or
water to pass into the machine.
NOTE:
The nipple between the air filter/regulator and the Bijur oil lubricator
(See illustration in “Air Connection” section) reservoir tank below
the control box on the back of the machine is for the optional rotary
table. DO NOT use this as a connection for an auxiliary air line.
Auxiliary connections should be made on the left side of the air
filter/regulator.
WARNING!
When the machine is operating and the pressure gauge (on the machine regulator) drops by more
than 10 psi during tool changes or pallet changes, insufficient air is being supplied to the machine.

Wiring connections to power the machine must be made before the Levelling Procedure can be followed.
It is our strong recommendation that the machine be anchored in place for best and most consistent results
